Two Weeks to Go; August 27 2025

Two weeks from now, The Other Face of Sympathy will officially be out in the world. It’s blowing my mind a bit!

I’ll also be officially back in university, which is also blowing my mind but in a slightly more terrified way. I went to the campus in advance just so I’d have an idea of where my classes were, and it’s all… pretty dizzying. I feel out of place, old, and disoriented. I’m still not totally sure where all my classes are, because certain buildings were locked.

I’ll just get there early and hope for the best. That’s usually how I deal with stressful scenarios.

If you want to help reduce my stress, you can preorder my book (if you haven’t already) – preorder numbers are a huge indicator in the publishing industry whether or not they can consider an author ‘a success’, so it means a lot when you do so!

Reminder as well that if you’re in Canada (specifically Ontario) you can potentially come see me at Can*Con this October! A bookish convention celebrating Canadian literature with panels, signings, and other fun stuff!

Wish me luck, y’all!
